Back pain is very common and disabling. It is one of the main factor that affects our activities of daily livings. Thankfully, back pain can be properly rectified with the appropriate managements. Here are some tips to help manage your back pain.
1. Keep Active
The worst thing you can do when back pain strikes is bedrest. Resting can cause inflammation to build up in the back and further stiffening the joints and muscles. This can slow down recovery.
2. Keep Hydrated
The intervertebral disc in our spine mainly consists of water. Adequate hydration can ensure a healthy and flexible spine.
3. Keep Pain Medications To A Minimal
Pain medications are helpful in managing back pain. However, too much of a good thing can also backfires. There are studies that show slower recovery for back pain for people who overuse anti-inflammatory drugs. You should also consider natural food sources with anti-inflammation properties.
4. Diet Management
Poor diets consisting of foods that are highly processed, high in saturated fats and sugar can increase inflammation and thus pain. Maintaining a healthy body weight can also reduce the stress on our spine.
